Per KId Rich's post: We considered (very briefly) outlawing the use of BP or substitutes in Wild Bunch primarily because of the firearm problems the majority of users were having and the effect on the overall match flow. HOWEVER Wild Bunch Action Shooting is a SHOOTING match, and we want to reduce penalties and restrictions, not increase them. So we decided that if you can make it work fine, if you can't, you might miss a couple of stages as the match goes on. We (the WBAS Committee) have removed over a dozen MSV's and SDQ's since the start of Sanctioned WBAS competition. Too bad CAS can't do that also.

1960's, an extra 1911 in South Africa in an alley in an unnamed town for $10 American. Was working a "summer Job" for college money. Worked fine. Left it there for a replacement worker when I came back to the states.

I only use 91 octane ethanol free fuel in my small gasoline generators. Buy it at the little fuel distributor in nearby town that makes my bulk deliveries. You can search on the internet for stations that sell it. It is surprising how easy it is to find but you have to look. All my big generators are diesel.

I still use a flip phone. Military tough and secure. Battery can be removed and no GPS. With the battery out there is no way to track the phone. Battery lasts over a week. I have no need for an upgrade.

I somewhat agree that we don't need a bunch of new rules. I firmly believe that we need to get rid of some of the current rules/penalties. I'm more interested in voting out current penalties than adding new ones.

Dutch tere were plenty of full auto firearms on display at SHOT this year. It isn't open to the public. Have to be a dealer, etc. to get in.

Ninety Caliber, I strongly recommend camping at the ranch if you can handle dry camping. As Ed said there is water and sewer service available. The first 2 rows and most of row 3 are reserved for founders Club members but sometimes you can get into row 3. Rows 4-12 are open to anyone, and there is a shuttle from the camping area to the range. It is only a few hundred yards though so most just walk.

GAMM is an unofficial side match held at some Wild Bunch matches with no official rules. BAMM is an official Wild Bunch side match. The rules can be found in the WBAS Shooters Handbook or as a pinned post on the WBAS forum.

Definitely the new Comfort Inn in Edgewood if space is still available. Book NOW !!!

There is no restriction against shooters in the Gunfighter category dressing Steampunk. There are only 2 categories where dressing Steampunk is not allowed. B-Western and Classic Cowboy/Girl.

Check with your local fire Department. Nearly all have one or access to one for training. I've used many over the years for fire service training but don't have one now. They can be irritating to the sensitive.

I have gone through many calipers over the last 50 years. First vernier then dial. (still have some Starret dial ones). I currently use digital ones. Expensive $200+ from Starrett and Mitutoyo in the machine shop but in my reloading room I use a pair of Fowler Euro-cal IV 6". Very good calipers for the money. I do however use an expensive 4 place Mitutoyo micrometer in my reloading room.

Phosgene isn't too bad. Back when I was making alpha-methyl bad stuff for the Govt. I used a rail car a week as starting material. What I made was BAD stuff.

You had better plan on a LONG break. His alias is "Talks A lot Bob". I good friend of mine.
